DE-. CHkNNING's NoTE-BooK. Passages from
the Unpublished Manuscripts of William
Ellery Charming. Selected by his Grand
daughter, Grace Ellery Claiming. VOL,
16 mo. 81. Boston: Houghton Mit1lln d Co,
In this neat little volume of 10 pages,
beautifully printed and bound in vellum, we
have notes and jottings from the unpublished
manuscripts of the great DR.. Claiming. They
are seed thoughts, which under the hand of
the master would have developed into the
rich fruitage of sermon, article, essay or adj
dress, but were never used and appear now
simply in the original form in which they
were noted down. The paragraphs seldom
occupy more than half dozen lines,-the
larger number not more than two or three
vet they are instinct with the beauty and grace
of DIR. Channing's style. They cover large
number of subjects and are ethical and spirit
nal in their treatment. Several of the topics in
the last part of the volume are selections from
the authors work on Man, which he was not
spared to complete. In these notes we rec
oonize what would have been the character
of his treatise. 1t is one of the worlds losses
that Charming never produced that work.
The spirituality and searching moral quality
of the hints, with the crystalline clearness OF
the style, devout and reyerent tone, and sug-
gestiye and uplifting character of the volume,
make it worthy companion on the shelf
with "The Perfect Life" and the famous
"Works" of DIR. Charming.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. By Victor Hugo.
Translated by Prof. Melville B. Anderson.
8 vo 425 pages. $500. [Chicago: A. @.
McClurg & Co.
This volume was written by Victor Hugo
as an introduction to his sons edition of
Shakespeare, and was prepared during the
exile of the poet in the island of Jersey. 1t
is a very unique and peculiar work, Hugo
esque from beginning to end, and marvel
GUS and eloquent piece of writing, with
Shakespeare as the central idea and all litera-
ture, history, poetry and art clustering in
magnifcence around him. The person who
takes up the volume expecting to find it BIZ
opraphy of the great dramatist will be seri-
ously disappointed. Much of the little that
is known of Shakespeare is omitted from
these pages; and much of what is stated is
inaccurate and misleading; but as specimen
of eloquent and pictorial writing, on all re-
lated subjects, vivifed and made fairly alive
and sparkling with the personality of Hugo,
the volume is simply great. "The splendid
eloquence and heroic enthusiasm of Victor
Hugo" says Swinburne, "never found more
noble and sustained expression than in this
volume" Prof. Anderson characterizes it in
his preface as belonging ito the literature OF
power rather than to the literature of knowl-
edge" By this we may understand that we
will find more of Hugo in it than of Shakes
peare. And this is the fact. But the genius
and eloquence of the great Frenchman never
had more glorious subject, and never shone
out more conspicuously than in these pages.
AS we read the volume, the poets, heroes,
sages, artists, 'the hunters of men and the
trailers of armies" all pass before us in pro
cession; civilizations and dynasties are sound
ed; the expressions of human genius and
achievements of intellect are reviewed; all the
masterful forces of the world are described.
Shakespeare is the core of the volume; every
thing in art, nature, history, and literature is
touched and embellished to share his genius.
1t is an exhibition on every page of intellect
ual genius. 1t reads like Carlyle and Emer-
son set to music; poetry, justice and human
ity shine on its sparkling pages. The repub-
icanism of the author, his contempt for rank
and titles, and his estimate of the world s
debt to Shakespeare, as beyond kings and
warriors, is magnifcently portrayed. The
reader, while carried away by the torrent of
this eloquent defamation, is also stirred by
the great humanity depicted. 1t is relief
occasionally to be directed TO the translator
footnotes, where the errors of fact and his
tory into which Hugo fell in rapid compost
ton are pointed out with scholars GOODNESS,
amid the fiery torrents of imprisoned speech.
Such volume is great gift to mankind
the wonder is that no one before Prof. An
derson has attempted to translate it for
American readers.

Aqatha and the ShadotU is the second issue
of the "old colony series of novels" published
by Roberts Brothers, of Boston. 1t is story
of the pilgrim times in Massachusetts,, the
Agatha figuring as the daughter of Elder
Brewster, and the "Shadow" Jewess named
Rachel, a discarded companion of Agatha's
husband, Bernard Anselm, who by Agatha's
patient and Christ-like endeavors is won back
10 virtue and hope. $50 the Shadow-that
dark life throwing darkness upon the path of
others-faded into the sunlight" Rachel at
the last becoming "a light-bearer to Others"
The moral of the story is expressed in the
closing sentence: "The spirit of an unselfsh
love and of high conservation, mindful of
the worlds wandering sheep seeking to save
that which is lost" The style of the book is
very graceful, tender and beautiful. Several
of the chapters are almost powerfully written
and there is a general fidelity observed in the
reflection of the Pilgrim manners and GUS
toms and style of thought. There is no such
mastery of analysis ia dealing with Anselm's
sin as revealed in Hawthorne's "Scarlet Let
ter" and yet certain passages will inevitably
bring that wonderful book to the memory of
the reader. As piece of literary work,
agatha and the Shadow" is very much be-
yond the ordinary novel. The impression
